GET YOUR FIC ON! Ladies Fic Battle Begins

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

 

 

PUT A PROMPT ON IT!

This is a prompt-driven GENERAL fanfiction battle revolving around all of the ladies of the BSGverse. 

General fanfiction may include allusions to romantic relationships, maybe even employ romance as an element to illustrate a larger theme, but, romance, or the lack of it, should not be the point of focus for the story. Let's face it, the BSG ladies were awesome and they didn't always get the chance to show off that awesome. Especially in the latter seasons of the show.  

Action-Adventure, Friendship, Humor, Angst, Comfort, all of these are good categories to explore. The ladies could lead a mission, make a sacrifice, exact revenge, solve a mystery, confess a secret, come to a decision, teach a student, go on a quest, reflect on a mistake, celebrate a victory, learn a lesson, question an order, save a life, or roll the hard six (just to name a few options). The possibilities are endless

Prompt sub starts: October 1
Prompt sub ends:  October 5 11:59 PM EST
Master List posted: October 6
Fic posting begins: October 7 11:59 PM EST
Fic posting closes:  October 15 11:59 PM EST


General Rules:

Prompts may be simple words, phrases, concepts, song lyrics, scenarios, or quotes you’d like used. I heartily encourage specific and unusual prompts.

Sample: zombies, happiness is a warm gun, “You win some, you lose some”

Submit as many prompts as you like as often as you like. (Please do not edit posts, but add any additional prompts after your first post in a new comment.)

Get your thinking caps on and HAVE FUN!

And please spread the word to BSG fic fans far and wide! The more participants, the merrier! 
 

ETA: PROMPTING NOW CLOSED

Kara, AU, beyond insane in any life, firefight

Racetrack, AU, lousy day, don't be a hero

Dee, AU, the graveyard shift, waiting for nothing to happen

Tory, AU, LIVE in 60 seconds, cold sandwiches

Racetrack, AU, fall leaves, playdate

Jean, AU, aliens and coffee, playlists

Heh. I think I know the answer to this, but you intentionally listed Racetrack twice/on separate lines right? One of those wasn't supposed to be someone else or anything, right?

Sorry, it's my first time at this...

They're two different prompts, but *technically* for the same character, yes.

If that's totally wrong, I can fix it if you need me to. :)

No problem! I just want to make sure I list it correctly. I wasn't sure why they weren't all on the same line. ETA: Oh you intended both phrases to be used together? Like "fall leaves and playdate" as one and "lousy day and don't be a hero" as the other? I get it now. Thought they were all separate.

I've been reading it as if everything listed together was one prompt (the way it seems to be here, but with everyone's). That explains it. I thought some of these would be rather long fics for the timeframe. Now that I know they're separate with some/most people, I'll have to think that much harder about which one to do! (I skipped several going, "I don't have time to write all of that.")

Heh sorry, I probably should have asked that individual prompts be separated with semicolons!

The list of prompts will be posted on the 6th and then there'll be a few days to think about it and then about a week to submit the ficlet, so there's plenty of time. (Fics don't have to be long either; I mean they can be but normally they're a couple hundred words or so.)
